Thames Valley Police has released figures pertaining to its operations and biannual crime statistics.

THAMES Valley Police has released its semi-annual breakdown of statistics about its operations.

As part of its commitment to giving the public more of an insight to its work, the force releases biannual figures about its activity and reports it received.

Latest figures look at the period between Friday, April 1, to Friday, September 30, which saw TVP undertake one of the “largest and most significant” operations in history.

More than 2,500 police officers and staff policing the services surrounding the death of Queen Elizabeth II.

As well as this, TVP also operated at a wide range of high-profile events including Reading Festival, Henley Regatta, and Royal Ascot.

Across Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, and Oxfordshire, it received 497,000 contacts from members of the public, with more than 190,000 calls to 999 and more than 260,000 calls to 101.

It reported that it attended nearly 500 incidents per day, making 15,099 arrests.

In May, it launched its strategy to tackle violence against women and girls, which focuses on dealing with perpetrators of domestic violence.

The figures report that 30% of arrests were related to domestic abuse, and the levels of charges for sexual offences increased by 105% compared to the same period last year.

Formal action against domestic abuse offenders has increased by 44%, while stalking and harassment charges increased by 45% and rape charges increased by 8%.

The force has also worked to bring in new officers, receiving more than 1,600 applications for positions.

It reports that 38% of applications received were from women, and 17% from Black, Asian, or Minority Ethnicity applicants.

As well as launching its Race Action Plan in May, it has also formed a new scrutiny board to provide a forum which can be used to hold the force to account on its commitment to increase trust and confidence in diverse communities.

It has also committed to tackling drug and knife-related offences, with more than 2,400 crimes related to drug dealing or possession recorded and 445 arrests made for kine-enabled crime.

Reflecting on an extremely busy six months, Chief Constable John Campbell said: “These wide-ranging statistics provide a glimpse of the complexity of modern policing and the variety of work undertaken by Thames Valley Police every single day.

The report detailed a drop of around 33% of burglaries compared to 2019, with TVP citing the “impact of COVID restrictions” as being particularly evident

“In light of all these numbers, the most important thing to remember is that each of these statistics has a story behind them; a family reunited with a loved one; an event that was able to take place safely and without disruption; or a person who called for our help in their time of need.

“I’m proud of our dedicated officers, staff and volunteers who work hard day-in, day-out, to keep our communities safe.”
